Hosea 8:8-10

New American Standard Bible

⁸ Israel has been ^(A)swallowed up;
They are now among the nations
Like a ^(B)vessel in which no one delights.
⁹ For they have gone up to ^(C)Assyria,
Like ^(D)a wild donkey all alone;
Ephraim has ^(E)paid fees for ^[a]lovers.
¹⁰ Even though they ^[b]pay for allies among the nations,
I will ^(F)gather them up now;
And they will begin ^(G)to diminish
Because of the burden of the ^(H)king of officials.
